Reason #4 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
One-stop shopping
Bodog offers the triple crown of gambling: casino, poker, and sports. Many other casinos have tacked on poker as an afterthought, and many poker rooms have tacked on a casino as an afterthought, and the lack of attention shows, sometimes painfully. And very few of these sites let you make sports wagers.
But Bodog doesn't just offer all three, they do each one well, and everything's integrated. It's easy to play all three off one deposit, off just one account.
Another nice thing about Bodog is that you don't need a separate account to play casino games with fake money. In fact you do not even need an account for that at all, you can just click over there and play. Finally, Bodog usernames are only six or seven characters long making them possible to remember. By contrast some competitors' usernames are extremely long and cumbersome. (Visit Bodog)

One click and you're in:
 No popups, no download, no registration, no B.S., just the game.

Keno Appendix 5
|
|
Last Update: October 29, 2003
|
Nevada Numbers is a game offered at different keno lounges around Nevada. I've been told a few times that Nevada Numbers is a lottery and not keno, but what makes the difference I don't know. Mathematically they are the same.
- For $2 player picks 5 numbers from 1 to 80.
- At 6:00 PM every day 5 numbers are also picked from 1 to 80. These shall serve as the winning numbers at all casinos.
- The ticket pays according to table 1 below.
- The progressive shall reset to $5,000,000 and go up by 25% of money bet.
The following is the pay table.
| Table 1 |
| Catch |
Pays |
| 5 | Progressive |
| 4 | $2,000 |
| 3 | $20 |
| 2 | $2 |
| 1 | $1 |
| 0 | 0 |
The next table shows the number of combinations for each number of catches, the probability, and return based on the theoretical average winning jackpot of $17,020,008.
| Return Table |
| Catch |
Combinations |
Probability |
Pays |
Return |
| 5 | 1 | 0.00000004 | 17020008 | 0.353993 |
| 4 | 375 | 0.00001560 | 2000 | 0.015599 |
| 3 | 27750 | 0.00115433 | 20 | 0.011543 |
| 2 | 675250 | 0.02808858 | 2 | 0.028089 |
| 1 | 6077250 | 0.25279725 | 1 | 0.126399 |
| 0 | 17259390 | 0.71794420 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | 24040016 | 1 | 0 | 0.535623 |
The lower right cell shows an average return of 53.56%, or a house edge of 46.44%. This is a long-term return. At any given moment the return is 18.16% plus 2.08% for each $1,000,000 in the meter. For the odds to switch to the player's favor the jackpot would need to pass $39,347,282.
This game may sound like a terrible bet but it isn't the worst. The Las Vegas Hilton offers a Million Dollar keno game with a return of only 43.05%. However as far as I know the worst bet in Las Vegas in any game is the "Millionaire Keno" game at Harrah's and the Rio, which is a pick-10 with a return of 39.99%.
